Iraqi immigrants

    I won't fully comment, I don't have the time, just state that people, including Iraqis that escaped during the Saddam regime, are moving to Iraq.

    Why? Why are they investing money and their lives if they didn't think there's a brighter future ahead?

    I think we are doing a better job than acknowledged by many and the terrorists aren't succeeding after all...

    More facts, less words.

    :)

    What makes you think these "immigrants" aren't coming over to be part of the insurgency??

    That would mean that they need more.

    But no, we are talking about investors and people that were previously fleeing the country.

    So no, not illegal terrorist immigrants.

    Interesting, huh?

    Not realy considering 'investors' are getting a sweet deal and hoping for power in the country both politically and financially.

    Got a link to the story you're talking about?

    Unless I misunderstood, and I did NOT, that's what I heard and I obviously don't have a link.

    The source is reputable, don't know who was the host.

    Thought if you listened to a radio program you might have a link to the program. Otherwise sorry I don't put much faith into what one person says on a radio station myself, who knows if the person actually knows what he/she is talking about, twisting the facts or telling it how it is.

    Hehehe....ok, I'll have fun when I find some more about the case.

    I just heard only a part of the radio show and the statement was clear.

    I'll let you know more so you can make up all you want against it.

    For now, at least I know the fact, and so do those that believe me.

    See you soon with an update.

    Not saying it's not true myself, but 'investors' exiles from Iraq have been coming back from the beginning getting some very lucrative deals.

    I also took a look at the radio personalities from the radio station quoted and well looks like at least a few pretty right wing personalities to say the least :p

    If that was the point of your post...why didnt you say it? Its an extremely reasonable idea. However, that has absolutely zero to do with your original post.

    It may have come from the recent article on the opening of tourism to Iraq where they are building a new 7 star ( :confused: ) hotel in the Green Zone and a theme park elsewhere. They said in that article about the number of Iraqi's returning

    The whole thing was kinda funny though as it was like Chemical Ali saying no-one had invaded Iraq.

    I started a thread on it a few days ago
